@Zeether Emmy Rossum's got that whole Keira Knightly "I emote by letting my mouth hang open" thing and that bothers me.
@Zeether 😱 That is so disappointing.
@Zeether Really? I remember Minnie Driver singing on The Riches, too. I thought she could really sing.
@Zeether It's like they blew the whole budget of that movie on candles.
@Zeether He does this hoarse whispering vocal fry sort of thing. "Open up your miiiind! Let your fantasies - I'm Batman!"
@Zeether ...I don't know. Neon in Gotham City? Heresy...
@Zeether Gerard Butler can't sing. How does Jared Buckmymer expect me to believe the Phantom is a musical genius when he cast a man who can't sing? 😖
@bstacey @tobascodagama I think the closest thing to a Sandman deck is the Vertigo Tarot. Used decks occasionally pop up on eBay, but it's always too rich for my blood. 😕 #tarot
@tobascodagama I don't know that I'd call it cheap, but the Slow Holler Tarot checks your other two boxes and was independently created by a group of queer southern (as in southeastern U.S.) artists. The booklet that comes with it is thoughtfully written and the cards have been reimagined in some cases in order to move away from the RWS hierarchical structure. Also, it's pretty. #tarot
@lifewinning this is my favorite. when my students reject my recommendations, I wonder if they know who grades their work.
The fourth of May is - besides Star Wars day - the evening Denmark was liberated from German occupation in 1945. and thus marks the end of the Second World War here.
People put candles in the window to remind each other of the two words: Never again!
I haven't done it for some years, but in light... of resent stupidity I placed these two electric candles in the window. Just as a precaution.

@jd_d It was on the agenda for this year, but we dropped it back in August and gave them another writing assignment instead.
good morning, witches.
@wishx thank you!
@wishx I've been considering Handmaid's Tale. I love the book. I don't know if I want to do three dystopian novels, though.
@emdeesee My students are in 10th grade. I'm hoping it'll be a good class. This year has been my internship, but I get to plan everything myself for next year!
Hey!
I'm looking for papers (Thesis or Academic Articles) written by one of you!
It should be about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, or about the new wave of mashup-literature.
I would love to read your work, and reference it in my thesis.
🔃 's are welcome!
All I do at work is make coffee, conversation and an ass of myself.
Books I'm going to teach in World Lit next year: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Lord of the Flies.
📚
Books I'm thinking about teaching but haven't decided on:
Homegoing, Persepolis, Maus, Things Fall Apart, Othello.
📚
Thoughts? Ideas for supplemental texts?

@SaiaLePi0u yes, do this!
